Metioprim
Metioprim is a competitive inhibitor of bacterial Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Metioprim has inhibitory activity against anaerobic bacteria. Metioprim shows synergistic activity in combination with DDS (HY-B0688) against E. coli. and various mycobacteria.

Biological Activity
Metioprim inhibits some anaerobic bacteria species with an average MIC value of 3.2 μg/mL[1].
Metioprim (0-1.0 μM; 0-8 h) suppresses bacterial growth kinetics, and inhibits E. coli with an MIC value of 0.7 μg/mL[2].
